On March 26, Greenpower Park announced that the Greenpower Park campus will create a holistic environment for battery research, industrialization, manufacturing, testing, recycling, and electrified logistics, designed to drive advancements in zero emission EVs, public transport, aviation, and energy systems.
The center aims to attract an unprecedented inward investment of GBP 2.5 billion, creating 6,000 highly skilled jobs. Greenpower Park is part of a public-private joint venture agreement between Coventry City Council and Coventry Airport Ltd.
It is already attracting keen interest, with several Asian battery manufacturers actively considering moving to the site. The project will create an end-to-end electrification and clean energy ecosystem. With the West Midlands Gigafactory as its anchor tenant, it is the only site in the UK with approved plans for a large-scale battery production facility with a capacity for up to 60GWh - enough to power 600,000 electric vehicles and benefiting significant incentives associated with investment zone status.
